One night, "baddies" steal the sparkling gems off of the skin of Bella the Dragon. She is left weak and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, falling out of sight of her child friends. Bit by bit, the tears their tears transform into gems and float to Bella, giving her power and bringing her back to play with them. Young children will enjoy this tale of grief and friendship and will appreciate the vivid illustrations. This latest edition has been reformatted from the original, allowing the illustrations to appear on the screen of an e-reader more like they would appear in print format: large, detailed, and engaging.
